DIY: anthro inspired gift box decoration

some of my favorite tutorials come from personal blogs.

sometimes i find that craft blogs show the same projects, but just different ways to do them.

so when i find a tutorial on a personal blog i get very excited.

which is exactly how i felt when i stumbled upon jamie's blog, life as a pepin.

her tutorial is super simple with very few steps. i love the outcome of her project.

this would be the perfect special touch to wrapping any christmas gift.

or if you bundled them all together you could make a cute ornament.

someone else i shared this tutorial with thought it would be a cute headband.

well whatever you decided to do with this project, i bet it will turn out great!

happy sunday.

does anyone know where i can find cute maternity clothes online?

since i live where i do i have to order all my clothes online.

i am looking for something a little more trendy.
